Abstract: A services provision system provides information services over one or more communications networks and has a software infrastructure divided into domains. Each domain has an intelligent software agent and this community of agents sits in a computing environment represented in each domain by a DPE kernel. The community of agents co-operates to provide service and service management functionality to a user. At least one of the agents is reconfigurable to change the functionality the system makes available. Reconfigurability is based on the use of a plurality of reusable software modules, the agent reconfiguring by selecting a new combination of modules. The software modules themselves incorporate rules, or policies, which determine process steps offered by the modules at run-time. These policies are external to the modules and may be loaded at run-time, allowing dynamic modification to functionality of the system.

Abstract: The tantalum chip capacitor of the present invention includes a anode terminal which is substantially flat. The tantalum wire which extends from the tantalum pellet through the insulating material terminates substantially flush with the insulating material, allowing the termination materials to be applied over a substantially flat surface. The tantalum chip capacitors of the present invention are created by methods which include the step of grinding the anode end of the capacitor so that the tantalum wire is flush with the insulating material. Conductive materials can then be applied to the anode end of the capacitor creating a substantially flat anode terminal.

Abstract: A routing cutter has a tool body carrying replaceable cutting inserts which include side inserts with cutting edges projecting radially from the periphery of the body and end inserts with cutting edges projecting forwards from the body. The cutting edges of the side inserts have inward extensions to define a cutting envelope that intersects or overlaps the cutting envelope of the end inserts. Each side insert is secured by clamping screws extending substantially radially into the tool body, rearwards of the insert cutting edge. This arrangement of the clamping screws allows the body to be formed with relatively shallow seating recesses for the side inserts with substantially tangential locating faces against which the inserts are clamped for precise radial location. Also, the side inserts can be relatively deep in the direction of rotation to improve support for cutting edge regions that project from the tool body.

Abstract: Alendronate, a bisphosphonate can prevent tooth loss not necessarily associated with periodontal disease. Preferably, alendronate (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) is given daily for an extended period of time.

Abstract: Alendronate, a bisphosphonate, when administered daily over a substantial period of time, can reduce the rate of non-vertebral fractures, in post-menopausal women.

Abstract: An apparatus for storing data for use in displaying diagrams comprises a computer and a file server. Each diagram includes boxes and flow lines connecting the boxes. The software includes a database and a main program which is responsible for storing and retrieving diagram data as well as performing predetermined operations on the data. In the database, data describing a box is stored as an instance of a first software object class, data describing a flow line is stored as an instance of a second software object class, general data relating to a diagram is stored as an instance of a third software object class, and data describing the location of each entity (box or flow line) on a diagram is stored as an instance of a fourth software object class.

Abstract: Mobile telephone apparatus comprises a transceiver unit (10) having a handset cradle (12), signal antenna (14) and ports (16-24) for the connection of a handset, external loudspeaker/microphone, power supply etc. A power lead (26) for connecting the power supply port (24) of the apparatus to a cigarette lighter socket is stored when not in use by plugging the cigarette lighter adaptor (36) at one end of the lead (26) into a dummy socket (44) formed in a housing (42) which is detachably connected to the transceiver unit (10). The lead (26) is combined with a carrying strap (28), one end of which is connected to the cigarette lighter adapter and the other end (30) of which is detachably connectable to a retaining slot (32) on the transceiver unit (10).
